If we make a list , there will not be endless and can be thousands of meters in length. Sad indeed, but that's a fact that occurred. The question is, why would they do such a reckless?
Psychologists propose some triggers of suicidal behavior, such as : school problems, family problems, employment and financial, disease, and other problems. Actually, all problems would also be experienced by everyone. But sometimes on certain people had compounded the problems with internal conditions, which may be drug addiction, congenital genetic, mental disorders or conditions which tend to be unhealthy brain. Plus the immediate neighborhood that does not support. The closest people have to be sensitive to changes in the behavior of each family member, especially if often appears anxious, depressed, despair, feelings of loss, often talked about wanting to die or commit suicide, or attempt to suicide.
So, it's imperative for the people around them, especially the family or close friends to show their concern and empathy, ready to be good listeners for their complaints. If needed, ask for medical assistance or psychologist.
We, who are not in a position like them might be very surprised, how could it all happen. Life is so precious and the gift of life from Allah is worthy to be thankful for. There is always a solution to every problem. If others can, then we too can do it. And the important thing is, we have to be close to Allah, so that we can talk to Him every time.
